Lost the plot?
IBM has not lost the plot.
It has a great strategy, which is to come up with a new strategy every two years.
Every time the new strategy is launched we are assured this is right strategy and various IT/management consultants are paraded confirming that IBM's latest strategy is great.
Then we are invited to endless calls or town hall meeting where we are told to believe that this is right strategy.
The next steps is a massive re-labelling. Projects and products that have taken years to develop and were launched under one of he old strategies, are suddenly part of the new strategy.
Brilliant.
